Don't stay here

Showed up a bit early and tried to check in. Wouldn't let me check in early which I understand but then offered to let me check in early for $100. I waited and when I finally was able to check in the room was a disgusting. Used condoms all over the bed beer bottles and cans everywhere.i asked for a refund but they refused. Then they made me wait and told me they would get me another room. I paid for a king size bed and ended up getting a room with a full size bed. I'm usually pretty understanding but this was the worst experience I've ever had. Made me wait after check in time and then downgraded me without offering a discount or refund.

Did not feel safe. On our first stay, there was a scuffle and shouting next door in the middle of the night that lasted for a long time. We gave this place another chance. On our second stay, a car alarm went off in the middle of the night and the police made an appearance. But their questions were not about the attempted car break-in but of another nature. We will not be returning.

Easy check-in. Room smelled and looked clean. Room was roomy in spite of the king size bed. For the most part, our stay was quiet with the exception of a very loud altercation early one morning. We would like to suggest having a place to hang our clothes.. We plan to stay again at Valley Inn.
